Quilting distance according to wadding instructions?
#1
I quilted a baby quilt using Stich-in-the ditch last night, but even though the wadding package says it can be quilted 8" apart, I am a bit nervous. I like it as it is now and can't think of what to add should I quilt it more, but my quilting is about 5"-6" apart.
Can I trust the wadding instructions that it won't shift with washing after a while?

You can trust the batting instructions, but, I agree that baby quilts get washed a lot, so a little more quilting would be prudent. Don't quilt too much, though, as above, it does get stiffer and don't drape as nicely.
